4.  The applicant was born in 1946 and lives in Odessa.
5.  In February 1999 the applicant resigned from her position of the deputy district prosecutor at the Odessa Regional Prosecutors' Office (“the Prosecutors' Office,” Прокуратура Одеської області).
6.  On 5 May 1999 the Odessa Medical Expert Commission (“the Expert Commission,” Медико-соціальна експертиза Одеської обласної лікарні) recognised the applicant as falling within the third category of invalidity (третя група інвалідності) resulting from occupational disease (diabetes).
7.  In August 1999 the applicant instituted administrative proceedings in the Zhovtnevy District Court of Odessa (“the Zhovtnevy Court,” Жовтневий районний суд м. Одеси) seeking to oblige the Odessa Regional Prosecutor to fill out an insurance form enabling her to obtain a lump sum in professional disability compensation from the State Insurance Company “Oranta” (Національна Акціонерна Страхова Компанія “Оранта”).
8.  On 6 December 1999 the Zhovtnevy Court ordered the Prosecutor to fill out the form. This judgment was not appealed against and became final on 16 December 1999.
9.  On 14 January 2000 the Prosecutors' Office withheld the case-file from the Zhovtnevy Court to decide, in accordance with the powers vested in it by law at the material time, whether to lodge a protest against the judgment of 6 December 1999 in supervisory review proceedings.
10.  On 6 October 2000, following the applicant's complaint about an unjustified lengthy withholding of the case-file, the Prosecutors' Office returned it to the Zhovtnevy Court.
11.  On 23 October 2000 the Zhovtnevy Court issued a writ of execution and the Zhovtnevy District Bailiffs' Service of Odessa (“the Bailiffs,” Відділ Державної виконавчої служби Жовтневого районного управління юстиції м. Одеси) initiated enforcement proceedings in respect of the above judgment.
12.  On 8 August 2001 the Bailiffs adjourned the enforcement proceedings on the ground that the Prosecutors' Office had lodged a cassation appeal against the judgment of 6 December 1999 with the Supreme Court, in accordance with the transitional provisions of the new law of 21 June 2001, amending the Code of Civil Procedure.
13.  On 20 September 2001 the Supreme Court rejected the Prosecutors' Office's request for leave to appeal in cassation.
14.  On 8 February 2002 the Prosecutors' Office instituted civil proceedings in the Suvorovsky District Court of Odessa (“the Suvorovsky Court,” Суворовський районний суд м. Одеси) against the applicant and the Expert Commission, alleging that the applicant's diabetes was not an occupational disease. On 8 April 2005 the Suvorovsky Court rejected the claims of the Prosecutors' Office. This judgment was not appealed against and became final in May 2005.
15.  In the meantime, on 14 January 2004 the Bailiffs informed the applicant that the writ of execution in respect of the judgment of 6 December 1999 had been lost and advised her to request a duplicate from the Zhovtnevy Court. In 2005 the building of the Prosecutors' Office was set on fire and the documents concerning further course of the enforcement proceedings were lost again.
16.  On 18 February 2006 the Bailiffs resumed the enforcement proceedings and on 9 March 2006 the Odessa Regional Prosecutor filled out the applicant's insurance form. On 13 March 2006 the enforcement proceedings were terminated as completed.
